[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ok: not to pour too much fuel on the fire, but since I haven't consumed every one of the 10 (!) pages of comments, please do forgive me if this ground was covered...I had a slightly different, very familiar/existential version of this question: the elementary school question.

If your kid is in a charter elementary school that's fine for PK - as I know most charters are - but then gets progressively less impressive once you have to start actually learning...and you've come up just short in the lottery for your target schools both PK years...and your zoned school is 100% not an option - what's the play? Is there any realistic (emphasis on that word) hope for OOB lottery placement into a decent DCPS school for K or 1st? Or should we plan to rent our current place out and somehow find a somewhat equivalent rental in upper NW? Is there any ELEMENTARY school in this city that's worth moving for? Or should we just rent our place out and move to MoCo - is a gifted program worth moving for, if you think that might be a factor? If so, when?

Thanks for not flaming me despite my relative ignorance of prior conversation. We're feeling a bit crushed right now - got very close this year, fell just short, agonizingly so - and a bit lost as to our next move. [/quote]

I think this deserves a different thread. Much different considerations though I would recommend you never lose sight of the MS/HS question. You won’t yet have a good sense of what kind of learner you have (even if you think they are super smart and gifted, you just don’t know how it’s going to play out yet). But ES still is a different question. [/quote]
